Bug#830206: libmpfi-dev: undefined symbol: mpfi_is_strictly_neg_default

[Ximin Luo]

Package: libmpfi-dev
Version: 1.5.1+ds-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When trying to compile Sage 7.1 as described in 

https://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience/Sage
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-science/packages/sagemath.git/

Sage compiles successfully but the resulting binary crashes when I try to run
it, with an error related to cython dynamic library loading:

cd ../.. && sage-logger './sage --docbuild --no-pdf-links all html ' logs/dochtml.log

ImportError: /home/anonymous/.sage/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sage/rings/real_mpfi.so: undefined symbol: mpfi_is_strictly_neg_default

This function is present in the source code, but not in the compiled .so for
some reason. I will investigate further in the meantime, but any tips on this
would be appreciated.

Thanks!
